Men Without Work

In "Men Without Work," political economist Nicholas Eberstadt examines a troubling phenomenon in America: despite economic growth and declining unemployment rates, a significant decline in work participation among men persists. He reveals that the work rate for American males aged 25-54 is alarmingly lower today than it was decades ago, with nearly one in six of these men completely detached from the labor force. Eberstadt delves into the implications of this trend, exploring who these men are, the reasons behind their disengagement, and the broader consequences for American society.
